While you are in the Kingdom, there are a couple of things you should know:
-Only one child per family (any others found will be seized and trained to find others (sort of like a secret police)
**********Children born after the first are know collectively as extras
-Curfew is an hour before sunset until an hour after sunrise
-If you try to oppose any of the king's rules, you will end up in the dungeon.
-Each of the areas in the Kingdom are very unique
Extra Police
Extras seized by the King's detail and trained to infiltrate and discern if there are any illegal extras being harbored by anyone in the area they are placed in. Trained extras will not be returned to the area they were originally found in to discourage any thoughts of escape. These extras can be found in the streets, in homes with a recently deceased child (replacing and taking on the persona of the deceased), in schools during school hours, and in work during work hours (depending on the age of the extra).
Secret Society:
The Rose
Like a rose we look unsuspecting and flimsy,
But if you dare to pluck us,
We shall prick your fingers without hesitation
Started by someone only known as Amon (name meaning: "the hidden one") , The Rose grew in numbers as the oppressed families began to band together in order to save their loved ones. Though still only few areas even know of its existence due to the restricted travel. But as more and more kalons of different ranks learn of the existence of this society, there will be a greater spread to even unknown areas as those with higher rank have the ability to travel to farther places than their hometowns and nearby cities.
Lucky Crickets
In the Kingdom, most crickets are notorious for their horrible noise and off key singing and bad luck. However a few crickets actually have beautiful singing. These are the lucky crickets. When a kalon goes to capture a lucky cricket, they must be very careful and listen intently for the beautiful song in the cacophony of off key noise. Because as soon as a kalon gets close enough to a cricket to be able to discern what kind of song it sings, the cricket stops singing until a couple days after capture (that's when the cricket is comfortable around the kalon). However, the cricket still is lucky/unlucky even when it does not sing, so the capturer kalon is subject to the luck that comes with the cricket.
Fairies
Fairies are small, beautiful, kalon-like, winged creatures who fly and have many different abilities. Fairies can give others happiness, help plants grow, and even heal items/plants/kalons.
Running Table
The running table is an odd creature that was read into the world in the Land of Living Stories. This table is able to move it's legs like an animal and it doesn't to stay in one place too long as it seems to explore the enchanted forest it was brought into. Very few kalons have been able to get close to the running table, but of the ones who could said it was almost like a young puppy.
Dragon of Endings
Beware, this is one of the most dangerous creatures read into the Land of Living Stories. This dragon has the ability to camouflage with the surrounding area, spew fire, and even transform into the unsuspected form of a kalon. However, as a kalon, he does not have any ability to camouflage nor spew fire. The dragon is only able to transform back into a dragon when it is a kalon.
